Agreed, so then what would you say is the winning card for Democrats to push this fissure to the breaking point? So that if say all the Repub eggs are in one basket and GA either
1. Regains the State senate and hold the house
or
2. Holds, through some miracle the Dem US Senate seat
or
3. Sends a Dem majority of US Congressmen to Washington.
Democrats, and progressive Democrats at that, suddenly hold the cards for a larger Southern state.

Senator Chuck Hagel is not a Democrat. There is nothing about Hagel that should make you conclude he is anything other than a Republican. But you can dream right?

Tim:
The districts are so gerrymandered now there is no way GA sends a DEM congressional majority to DC. Tough to be a Southern DEM huh? GOP is going to pick up seats in the GA legislature in 2004.

I can live with the GOP picking up a few seats, as long as we elect real Democrats and not the pseudo-Dems we have currently. i personally would like to see Georgia with a Dem majority in the House and a Progressive or least liberal-leaning moderate at the gavel. Calvin Smyre cannot continue to be the rural-Democrats' whipping boy as the hold-all catch for bad legislation.
